Local Song
“As I strolled out the other night I met a jolly gang”
As I strolled out the other night
I met a jolly gang
They told me of the fun they had
And what they were going to plan
Chorus.
With my tirey-iggety-irey-iggety
-irey-iggety-ae.
II
We all went off together
And we joined in unity
We strolled across the curraghs
'Till we came to Geraghty's
Chorus
III
When we went in we all sat down,
'Twas then the fun began,
Mary talked of Ballyduff
And the way she courted Tom.
